Re: 2001 elite 125cc yamaha build, Go YAMAHONDA!!!!!

I will say I was hoping for a little more oomph. It rides super smooth down the street and feels much more stable at higher speeds. But the AF16 I pulled off was a lot quicker off the line. The 125cc just seems to keep pulling though. It doesnt accelerate as quickly to 30 as the 2 stroke but it will ...

2001 elite 125cc yamaha build, Go YAMAHONDA!!!!!

So I acquired a 2004 VINO 125 from a friend who was getting divorced and would rather give it to me than let her get it. I had already given the AF16 a budget build with a Taz 50mm, 24mm OKO, and all of the tranny guts. But I wanted to be different and got this swap in my head and it all kind of ...

Re: variator problem or what?

I'll give it a shot when my new rollers so up in the next day or so.

I am doing a new vinyl wrap on the scoot today, I will have to post something in the build thread.

Re: variator problem or what?

The way I thought it worked was that a stiffer spring resisted upshift longer and down shifted earlier? You think I should stay with the blue spring and just lighten the weights? right now my rpm's feel good in the mid speed range but once the trans shifts into high gear at about 40 it lowers the ...

Re: variator problem or what?

Top speed with 9.1 gears should be about 50mph.

What do you mean you still have the fiberglass reeds? what intake do you have?
Saw some of your videos by the way, they look pretty sweet, your scoot flies!!!

Well I assume they are the fiberglass still or they look like it. I bought the CT intake ...

Re: No Difference in peformance?????????????

Does the stock exhaust still have the restricter in the exhaust where it bolts to the jug? It looks like a washer that is welded in the exhaust inlet, shrinks the inlet size from around 1" down to about 3/8". If thats still in there you wont get much out of your new BBK

Re: variator problem or what?

What is the rpm I should be shooting for with my 50mm BBK and the v8 pipe?

I seldom ride wot. have seen the tach hit 8750 but really havent finished tuning the trans yet. same bbk as yours with v8 pipe but only a 21mm carb and intake so that probably limits it somewhat


What top speed are you ...

Re: variator problem or what?

read this it might help you out. I found it informative. http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?title=Transmission_Tuning

That is helpful indeed. I am a bigger guy (225lbs) I may need to step up the clutch springs as well to help with acceleration off the line. I lightened the weights I have but I ...

rattling noise off throttle???

I have a 2001 honda elite S, right now it has;
Taiwan 50mm kit
V8 pipe
stock carb with new jet

I am getting a higher frequency rattle from what sounds like the fan side of the motor when I come off the throttle and am slowing down.
Any ideas? The only thing strange with the scoot I found since I ...
